Should the Tories cut tax on jobs?

Share

THE Conservatives have now promised to reverse part of Labour’s rise in National Insurance. The Conservatives have said it was a “tax on jobs” and that under the move anyone earning up to £45,500 will now be better off; but the move will cost around £6bn a year and critics have said it goes against their priority of cutting the deficit.

1) Right to do this as they did
2) Right to do this, but they should have gone further by scrapping the tax rise entirely
3) Wrong to do this – they should have kept Labour’s planned increase as it was
4) Wrong to do this – they should have promised to increase national insurance more than Labour would to contribute to cutting the deficit
5) Don’t know
